In his discussion with Whitney Way Thore, her ex-boyfriend Lennie Alehat explained that the dynamic of their relationship could be confusing to others. "So Jessica and I talked earlier about how our relationship is kinda— Sometimes people think that maybe we are a little intimate for just friends that work together and stuff," he explained. Thore responded by noting the pair had grown more intimate over the last year, telling Alehat, "Once we reconnected, I think that intimacy that you established already kinda just comes back."

Interestingly enough, Thore had already touched upon the possibility of rekindling her physical connection with Lennie. "If I were not dating the Frenchman, I feel like I might wanna explore physically with Lennie and see if it's different than it was before," Thore admitted in a confessional. Soon after, she had a change of heart. "What am I thinking?" She exclaimed. "I'm an actual insane person. No. We work together. We have a great friendship going."

It wasn't only Thore and Alehat's friends that found the nature of the former couple's relationship confusing. According to Screenrant, fans were under the impression that Thore was leading Alehat on with her actions. "She must pay Lennie well because she's awful to him," one fan wrote in a Reddit discussion thread about the two, adding, "I don't know why else he'd stick around."
